It's a body of text highlighting a number of clichés you find on here all the time. One being being that we have to base all opinions on the club, whether it be the progress it makes, or how it's performing, on whether it's better or worse than being Bury. One of several clubs that have gone into administration but not had a billionaire owner ultimately prevent it. IE Nobody is allowed to ever be disappointed with relegarion because Bury folded and that's worse.

I will say you are no Bob Dylan. I have always found that the ABC of communication has served me over the years, Accuracy, Brevity and Clarity. And your post was neither accurate, brief nor clear;)
 
I'm sure a few on here know exactly when it's going to happen but dare not speak a word.
I hear it's deffo later this week but I'm not the best informed, just searching every day for confirmation behind me desk, getting fuck all done.
Might take Thursday and Friday off😉

That's a wee bit harsh. I think in these days of uncertainty when our torch bearer has been banned we need to stick together and unite.

Do you think Jack Ross would approve of these attacks?

Moderators are all part time volunteers.

Issuing warnings is just one part of the job.

We therefore rely upon the default warning notification system.

Does anyone have any clue (seriously) whether a takeover is genuinely going to happen and if so why it is taking so long given EFL must have ratified anything by now ?

I'm as sure as I can be, having been in and around these situations in the past. The hold-up is most likely down to needing to get the right group structure in place, which can cause real problems for American investors with the IRS if they don't get it right. Mrs G has worked on a number of these (she specialises in international taxation, mainly group structures and transfer pricing), and she tells me the rules around international investment from the US are fiendishly complicated. The deal is almost certainly done in principle, but a number of companies will need to be set up as well, particularly if they're talking about acquiring property in the surrounding area. That structure has to be got right first time.

Sound info but given all that should we assume that nothing will happen for quite a while ? Should the club be more open or is there still a chance this could fall through because of digging in by the likes of Sartori or Short ?
